About the author

Rob Dransfield helped to develop and is currently the moderator for the Financial Times Non-Executive Directors course and has authored a number of introductory and international economics books. He was previously Head of Business and Economics Education at Nottingham Trent University. He believes that the economic frameworks (institutions) that provide the scaffolding for economic, social, environmental and political decision-making will be most effective when they represent the wishes and intentions of individuals and communities. Better institutional arrangements produce better outcomes. For example, better governance arrangements involving more informed and empowered non-executive directors of companies (and not-for-profits) can enable organisations to make better decisions to the benefit of all stakeholders.
